B7 tyre pressure sensors

Post by sel44x » Mon Aug 15, 2011 10:24 am

Does anyone know the best place to get a tyre pressure monitor from apart from the Audi Stealers ?
I was putting air into my tyre and the metal part of the valve snapped off and have been told I need to get the whole lot which comes with sensor :(

crap - my dealer broke a valve when swapping a tyre and they said it can be replaced (which they did) for a tenner.
They advised that it's common and warned me up front as they corrode and break easily.

I replaced two valves recently (due to corrosion). They were about £12 each from TPS.

Thanks guys, so you can replace the outer valve without replacing the sensor inside I take it ?
